Just finished up a gen V swap on my gtp looking to gain horses. On my test drive around town, I get a young high school looking kid pull up next to me in a gorgeous metallic grey Ls1 bird. My car is loping It's ass off, shaking side to side from the solid motor mounts. Barely idling enough to stay running with cold e85 (e70 Winter crap) an XP cam and a small vacuum leak somewhere.
Needless to say, my car sounds like ferocious tiger sex in the jungle, and the young basketball team reject hears it clearly, because his Windows are all the way down in the 34 degree weather. I suppose the lope struck his curiosity, so he rev'd at me with a pissed off jelous little pr1ck facial expression ready to teach me a lesson... Or try to anyways.
Green light! He stomps it like the non driving kid he is. I roll into the throttle to keep traction, and he is a half length behind me peeling out. He catches traction at around 35 or so, and that's when I gunned it. I lost traction and we traded positions in a matter of a second or so. Unfortunately for him, that's when I hooked up... The gen V, + the Loud scream of rubber surprised me because it was my first wot run on the gen V. By the time I realized how amazing the new blower sounded, he was 3 cars behind and falling. I stayed in the throttle addicted to the rising pitch of the blower, and I let off at the top of 2nd at around 100 or so. By then, he was a good bus legnth and a couple cars behind, but the gap was quickly closed by a 100+ mph ricer fly by in an American muscle car SMH. I am very impressed by the performance and sound of this gen V.
